When a discussion began about how to develop and expand Terenure Enterprise Centre (TEC), to enable it to serve all the people who use it, Innovate Dublin instigated a collaborative series of conversations to get everyone’s viewpoint on the right way forward. A future proofing workshop identified the challenges and opportunities facing the TEC, including capacity, infrastructure, accessibility, location, the varied skillsets of people using the building, demographics and partnerships.

A second session asked existing users to contribute ideas about future uses and services which could benefit the TEC while a final session encouraged dialogue and ideas around space and experiential nature of a new TEC. The exciting debate about the future of this beautiful art deco building in Terenure (it was once the village’s Classic Cinema) will continue to move forward in a collaborative way.
